Flooding Preparation Tips
Tips from FEMA for preparing your Home or Business for Flood
Before the Flood:
- Have a qualified professional elevate the furnace, water heater and eclectic panel if susceptible to flooding.
- Install “check valves” in sewer traps to prevent flood water from backing up into the drains of your home or business.
During the Flood:
-Turn off utilities at the main switches or valves if instructed to do so.
- Disconnect electrical appliances.
After the Flood:
-Listen for news reports to learn if the community's water supply is safe to drink
- Avoid floodwaters. Water may be contaminated by oil, gasoline or raw sewage. Water may also be electrically charged.
